Prices and what affects them

- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bulwick
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Bulwick
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bulwick
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bulwick as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bulwick
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Bulwick: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bulwick?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
